This tour leaves from Punta Coral.

Experience Calypso Cruises new 'In-Shore Fishing Adventure' with transportation from your hotel in San José, Jáco or Manuel Antonio and be back the same night. Enjoy a relaxing ride on the famous Catamaran 'Manta Raya' from Calypso's dock in Puntarenas to the Private Reserve Punta Coral, where you will meet your Captain to begin your sports fishing excursion.

Enjoy fishing around the local islands aboard the 25 ft. Mono Congo in search of Costa Rica’s exciting game fish. The closest fishing grounds are only 5 minutes away from Punta Coral offering you more time to fish. The Punta Coral area has several islands with various reefs and a good current. This provides the perfect hunting grounds for a variety of game fish. The main target is the hard hitting and great fighting Roosterfish. You will also fish for Red Snapper, Grouper, Pacific Sierra Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, Skipjack Tuna and Crocodile Needlefish. If weather and tide permit, it is possible to go a little further out to blue water to fish for Dorado (Mahi Mahi) and with luck maybe a Wahoo. All of these fish are available year around but there are seasonal variations.

Captain Thomas, owner of Bahia Rica Adventures, is also a marine biologist with fishing experience from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. He will take you to the best spots in the area. The fishing is varied depending on the season and species. Captain Thomas uses live bait, trolls Rapalas with Ballyhoo and plastic squid and throws Poppers. There are opportunities for really big fish in the area. Captain Thomas and the Mono Congo have 1 world record to date. While fishing, there is also the possibility of seeing other sea animals on the trip such as Ridley and Leatherback Sea Turtles, Humpback Whales, Dolphins and Manta Rays.

The Mono Congo uses only the best equipment to make sure there is never a worry about equipment failure. They mostly use a variety of Shimano equipment from trolling to spinning gear depending on the fishing we are doing.
